"Harold destroyed $1400 shower walls in 2 bthrms by cutting the Bull Nose Finished Sides & Tongue Grove Side! Paint applied w/ Sprayer highly diluted; it peels off wiping any scuffs! Spent extra $ on best Paint; complete waste! Since Sprayed: Paint never cut into Wall-Ceiling line. Ceilings have tannish tint thruout! Raised concern, rcvd manipulative excuse: Squirrel got into each room/ceiling, urinated, causing tint! LVT flooring installed in 1 bthrm over existing tile, but no Leveling Compound used as Instructions warned; LVT pops in/out when stepped on! Paid for 7 Existing Cable Boxes to be moved up, but none of Existing Cable fished thru, so made worse w/ non-functional Cable Boxes! Plead w/ Harold not to close Walls prior to fishing Cable thru, but Walls closed anyway. Disrespected, yelled at, when raised issue that Cable Company wouldn't be fixing, as Harold deceitfully wanted me to believe! Spent $1200 for Electrician to fix. $400 Fiberglass Ladder disappeared, Harold & his Workers only ppl that came in/out, didn't raise @ 1st, but when I was disrespected, yelled @ for voicing other concerns, I raised! And of course, Harold refused to accept responsibility, again turning manipulative/disrespectful, yelling, saying that I'm insulting by accusing him of stealing! Harold took Additional Deposit, September 2023, totaling 35% upfront & I paid for all Material! Was not placed on Schedule, so He worked only consistently during Winter break when Clients were Holiday traveling, etc. from Dec 15-Jan 10, 2024! He never again worked consistently: showed up 1x in Feb, 1x in March! Further, he insisted on weekly Cash Pymnts, but he would jump from Scope to Scope, ensuring he could invoice w/o fully completing any one Scope, giving him all the leverage! So had Scopes started, fully paid & incompete! Fed up in March when He held me hostage to 1 invoice sent wrong 3x's: 1stx formulas on spreadsheet not totaling right so inflated $ owed, 2ndx $900 Cash Pymnt missing from Feb, 3rdx $2200 Cash Pymnt missing from Jan! This $2200 Cash Pymnt was disputed since March, recorded only as $2K pymnt in the end/July! Showed proof that Lauren sent out text in Jan indicating $2200 Pymnt, but Both denied text in most manipulative/deceitful manner, to pt of absurdity, as I showed them both my phone clearly showing text sent by Lauren! From March-July 2024, Harold never fixed the March Invoice b/c he used disputed $2200 Jan Cash Pymnt on March Invoice to buy time in not returning to work. 4 month since March, was beyond fed up, but still did my best to resolve: July 11, spent hour over phone w/ Lauren explaining issues, she tried to manipulate my concerns/facts! Call ended with Notes she took to discuss w/ Harold & we would meet July 15 for her to inspect the issues raised. July 15, Lauren shows up w/ Harold to my surprise & 45 minutes late! Meeting ended with both Lauren & Harold cursing/yelling/slamming items, Lauren stated ("you are f in stupid") & they refused to email corrected March Invoice, wanting me to do verbal math! Lauren only reviewed the Notes from our Thurs call @ Monday's meeting, when they had from Thurs/ 4 Days prior! Harold demanded I go to bank get Cash, as banks were already closed @ 4p! Knew @ that pt I was played more b/c of their manipulative attitude! Harold walked off the job w/ his tools! Thankfully Mom w/ me as Witness. Had earlier Intution to cancel Monday's meeting & text Lauren what's outcome/where's revised March invoice, but decided not/ to show them good faith! Am left with: scopes never touched w/ 35% paid (deposit), scopes paid in full/incomplete & scopes paid/damaged/poor quality; needing extra $ for repair/material! Meaning am out: $31K Cash pymnts to Harold, plus $3K in destroyed material & $15K more to repair work! Harold/Lauren will appear polite @ 1st, but most deceitful/manipulative 2 ppl ever met! DO NOT HIRE HAROLD MAS! Will regret if any issues arise!"

"I first submitted my information to this company through their website. I received no response to that. I then called them twice to give my information. Each time I called, they told me I would hear from somebody in two to three days. I didn't receive a reply until I left a negative review. By the time I heard from someone named Ed, I already had another company out to inspect the damage in my home. I told Ed I'd get back to him if it didn't work out with that company. That company didn't get back to me for me to pay them and provide the estimates. I decided to try submitting my information for a project on Yelp. I received interest from one company. That company didn't call when they said they would, so it seemed like it was going to fall through with them. I called back Ed to set up a day and time to come out to visit. I ended up hearing from the company that I found after submitting my project to Yelp, and it seemed like they were going to come through with the estimates I needed. I called Ed back to cancel our appointment because I didn't want him wasting his time coming if this other company was going to provide the estimates. This other company wasn't calling when they said they would, getting back to me days later when I wasn't sure if I was ever going to hear from them again. I decided to call Ed to reschedule another appointment. This time he told me his boss didn't want to be involved with providing estimates if they're going to be used in a lawsuit. He referred me to another company, which didn't respond. After getting the runaround from two other companies, Ed and AW Martin got rid of me by referring me to a company that also didn't want to get involved. If a company has a problem with their estimates being used in a lawsuit, that sends up a red flag for me. It's frustrating, but I'm quickly learning how to deal with contractors. Don't tell them what you intend to use their estimates for. Fortunately, I've found a fifth company that I believe is going to provide the estimates I need. I was honest with them and told them why I needed the estimates, and they're even willing to appear in court to back up those estimates for a fee. In that case, I'm sure I can trust them, and their estimates will help me greatly with my lawsuit."

"We were in the process of renovating our apartment and needed to apply for permits from the government, which required an architect-signed design drawing. Anthony came highly recommended. He took the time to visit our apartment and carefully understand the challenges we faced in obtaining the permits. After thoroughly reviewing the space and listening to our renovation ideas, he assured us that the project would be straightforward for him and that he could provide an architectural drawing that would not only meet our needs but also ensure we could pass inspection without any issues. Despite the project being relatively small, Anthony was more than willing to take it on and offered a very reasonable fee for his services. We truly appreciate the time, care, and professionalism he brought to the table. We would highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for an architect who is knowledgeable, approachable, and dedicated to delivering great work."

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.
The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200.
The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
